4. Restrictions on Transfer and Registration Rights. The transferability
------------------------------------------------
of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are subject to the restrictions on
transfer set forth below:
(a) Notice of Transfer and Opinion of Counsel. The Warrant Holder, and
-----------------------------------------
any other holder of the Warrant by acceptance thereof, agrees that, prior to
2
any transfer of any Warrant, such holder will give written notice to the Company
of such holder's intention to effect such transfer and to comply in all other
respects with the provisions of this Section 4. Each such notice shall contain
(i) a statement setting forth the intention of such holder's prospective
transferee with respect to its retention or disposition of such Warrant, and
(ii) unless waived by the Company, an opinion of counsel for such holder (who
may be the inside or staff counsel employed by such holder), as to the necessity
or non-necessity for registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws in connection with
such transfer and stating the factual and statutory bases relied upon by
counsel. The following provisions shall then apply:
(A) If in the opinion of counsel for the Company the proposed
transfer of such Warrant may be effected without registration or
qualification under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws, then the registered holder of such Warrant shall be entitled to
transfer such Warrant in accordance with the intended method of
disposition specified in the statement delivered by such holder to the
Company.
(B) If in the opinion of counsel for the Company the proposed
transfer of such Warrant may not be effected without registration under
the Securities Act or registration or qualification under any applicable
state securities laws, the registered holder of such Warrant shall not be
entitled to transfer such Warrant until the requisite registration or
qualification is effective.
(b) Transfer. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth above,
--------
this Warrant is transferable, in whole, at the Principal Office of the Company
by the registered holder thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon
presentation of the Warrant, properly endorsed, for transfer. Each holder of
this Warrant, by holding it, agrees that the Warrant, when endorsed in blank,
may be deemed negotiable, and that the holder thereof, when the Warrant shall
have been so endorsed, may be treated by the Company and all other persons
dealing with the Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as
the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrant, or to the
transfer on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(c) Registration Restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have
-------------------------
not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(2) thereof, and have not been
registered under state securities laws by reason of their issuance in a
transaction exempt from such registration requirements. This Warrant and the
Warrant Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or
exempted from registration. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant will bear the following restrictive legend:
3
The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for
investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The shares may not be sold or transferred in the
absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom.
The shares represented by this certificate and the rights of holders
thereof are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and other
restrictions, and the holder of the shares represented by this
certificate (including any holders) are bound by the terms of the
original Warrant (copies of which may be obtained from the Company).
All restrictions contained herein shall be binding on any transferee of this
Warrant and the Company may require any such transferee to execute an instrument
agreeing in writing to be so bound by these restrictions as a condition to
transfer.
The Company shall be entitled to give stop transfer instructions to the transfer
agent with respect to Warrant Shares in order to enforce the foregoing
instructions.
5. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that
--------------------------------
all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof; and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that
it will from time to time take all such action as may be requisite to assure
that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or
less than the then effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock
issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that
during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the
purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant,
a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
the rights represented by the Warrant.
6. Automatic Termination of Warrant Term. The Warrant Term shall terminate
-------------------------------------
automatically sixty (60) days after the Common Stock of the Company has traded
at an average closing price per share as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market or
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or at an average
closing bid price per share as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, as the case may
be, of three dollars ($3) or greater for any thirty (30) consecutive trading
days during the Warrant Term.
7. Adjustments of Warrant Price. In the event that the Company shall
----------------------------
effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise
than by
4
payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock),
or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or
consolidated, by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased
or increased, as appropriate, to avoid dilution of the exercise rights
hereunder.
8. Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. In case of any
---------------------------------------------------
reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or
combination) or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which
the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value
to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrant), or in case of any sale or transfer to another corporation of
the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the
Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, execute new warrants
providing that the holder of the Warrant shall have the right to exercise such
new warrant (upon terms not less favorable to the holders than those then
applicable to the Warrant) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the
kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer by the holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such new
warrants shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 7 hereof and this
Section 8. The provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.
9. Notices. Whenever the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to
-------
Section 7 hereof, or there shall be a reclassification, reorganization or other
event specified in Section 8 hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare a
certificate signed by its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer,
setting forth in reasonable detail, as the case may be, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment, and
information regarding the execution of new warrants, and shall promptly cause
copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class and postage prepaid) to
the registered holders of the Warrant.
In the event the Company shall take any action which pursuant to
Section 7 may result in an adjustment of the Warrant Price, or pursuant to
Section 8 may result in the execution of new warrants, the Company will give to
the registered holders
5
of the Warrant at their last addresses known to the Company written notice of
such action ten (10) days in advance of its effective date in order to afford to
such holders of the Warrant an opportunity to exercise the Warrant and to
purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to such action becoming
effective.
10. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
-----------------
in connection with any purchase hereunder.
11. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company of
--------------------------------------
reasonable evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) of reasonable indemnity and (in case of mutilation) upon surrender
and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof,
new warrant of like tenor.
